25 random things about me . . .by Shannon Ballard Pinkston on Monday, February 9, 2009 at 9:34pm.
1. I wish I could carry a tune.
2. I am the oldest of 15 grandkids.
3. My peepaw died when I was 4 and there is not a day that goes by I don't think about him. 4. The scariest thing I've ever done is raising 2 kids.
5. The funnest thing I've ever done was my first trip to Cancun, I've been twice.
6. I'm very close to my aunts and uncles.
7. I've only broken one bone my thumb, in 5th grade playing dodge ball.
8. I feel blessed to have a brother, my baby brother Jason(aka Turtle).
9. My favorite thing to do is camp with my kids.
10. I love driving a mini van.
11. I wished I hadn't slept so much in school (but I figure now it was to make up for all the sleepless nights I have now). But I love the memories of skipping school.
12. I have been with my husband since I was 16, but I didn't have kids until I was 25.
13. My dream is to raise my kids to be good men with morals and I want them to in life.
14. I don't have a special talent.
15. I will not swim in the ocean if I can't see the bottom.
16. My dad wanted to name me Mary Alice. Mary after his mom Alice after Cooper.
17. I love Loretto, it's where my roots are.
18. I have a thing for Vince Vaughn.
19. I still can't believe god put babies in me that weighed 8.8 and 9.4. But they are so worth it.
20. I hate school, I hope I never have to be a student again.
21. I hate that my friends will never know how much I appreciate them for all the times they have let me cry on their shoulder. I never take a friend for granted.
22.I can keep a secret. But I my self have no secrets, some of my friends probably wish I didn't go into so much detail about my life.
23.I have terrible anxiety which will not let me quit smoking.
24.I love that I got married on the beach.
25. My favorite time of the day is laying in bed with my boys holding them while they fall asleep.

From a poem from a fundraiser at her work - now posted in the Imaging Services breakroom:
When tomorrow starts without me
and I am not there to see,
If the sun should rise
and find your eyes,
all filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry,
the way to did today.
While thinking of the many things
we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you.
And each time that you think of me,
just know I miss you too.
1. I wish I could carry a tune.
2. I am the oldest of 15 grandkids.
